King Edward Hall, Finchley
Built in 1911 as a private banqueting hall, the King Edward Hall became an auxiliary military hospital in 1915, during WW1.It closed as a hospital in 1919. It then returned to being a ballroom where its popularity endured through the 1920s until the late 1930s. During the 1940’s, what was then known as ‘Finchley Council’ moved into the hall when their offices were damaged in the war and the hall was converted into a temporary office for their use. The building was vacated in 1988 and lay unused until 1992 when it was refurbished and renamed as The Regent. It then reopened as a venue for weddings and events.LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link )
